At first I was surprised, but then it made perfect sense. American voters are split almost exactly 50/50. The elections of 2000, 2002, and 2004 proved that. 2006 and 2008 was not so different to negate the trend.
So from a purely political standpoint the conservative "FOX" brand news got support from 49% of the registered voters and the "Liberal Media" brand news (in the aggregate) got 51% support.
Now go back to that article above and read the comments at the end. There were 1110 comments. A random sample of 100 comments show conservative name calling and anger in 73% of the comments. With 25% showing liberal disbelief and 2% saying "so what".
What does all that mean?
It means "It Ain't Over Till It Is Over".
The American Civil Cold War is still being fought.

Kind of explains a couple bloggers I've visited. Their reference for
American History is Glenn Beck and world history Jonah Goldberg. They actually quote these 'truthful' references. Then, ironically, they deride US education...Shall I laugh or cry?
I wonder if FOX is cause or effect?
The conservatives have said for years that the liberal media was brain washing the people. So, does that apply to Fox as well?
